How could I analyse the differential expression of a particular gene with RNA-seq data?

Hi everyone! I'm new in RNA-seq data analysis. I'm interested in the differential analysis of a set of particular genes from an open access raw data. So I want to know which tools I need to use, specially after the mapping. So please help me I'm confuse.

rna-seq gene

Read the edgeR Userguide. It's a good discussion of many of the issues involved, has discussions of experimental designs, a section on gene set testing, and is very accessible.

Use RSEM to count genes, then use DESeq2 or EdgeR. Of course, you have to process the whole dataset, not just your favorite subset.
